Calcium phosphate and titanium cranioplasty after total angular craniopagus separation.
Clinical neurology and neurosurgery(2023)
Abstract
Craniopagus separation requires careful planning and a multi-staged surgical approach, managed by a multidisciplinary team. Despite growing experience on surgical management, the long-term restoration of the cranial defect has been rarely discussed so far. Several alloplastic materials have been proposed as effective and safe solutions for cranioplasty even for pediatric patients, allowing for bone generation, good aesthetic results, and low complication rates. We report, for the first time, on a separated craniopagus child who underwent successful implant of a tailor-made system based on the combination of calcium phosphate ceramic reinforced with a titanium mesh.
